Hello All!!!!!!!
Its nice to be here, hello! First things first, my spelling sucks; I am told I am pretty smart for an 8 year old although I am 36
!
I have kept fish for the last 20 years I had at one point 1200 gallons of water going in my fish room. I have sold my 220 FOWLR to a friend and I am down to one tank, a 160; but still one tank! I am traveling to much and just don't have the time anymore, even though I tell my "way" better half that "come on its not alot of work"...Anyways I pick up a 160 2 years ago and built it into the wall. Thing is, it has strange dimensions, 17icnhes wide 3 feet tall and 5 feet long, its neat because it have the 3 by 5 front panel, but it is hard to stock.
I have kept all kinds of south American and African chiclids over the years and breed most very successfully. from ali's to fronts to tropheus and calvins to oscars and Green terrors to a pair of Texas chiiclids that i kept alone in a 100 gallon that gave me so many fry i did not know what to do with them it was funny seeing the two sih in suck a big tank, with breeding pits everywhere!
Anyways back to the question at hand. I was going to to a south american tank but I gave the wife say on the tank and she said she wanted schooling fish and angels. I went with all kinds of tetras and angels. I HATE TETRAS and the angels are not far off.
Well the tank is back in my hands!!!!!
I want jurjepiri, oscars, fire mouths, green terros, Jackdempseys, although a whole African tank could be cool with rockwork up the whole back...
But i think with the big front viewing pane big fish would be great.
Lets get some stocking suggestions. I think this might be the right place.
Also I would like to keep an arowanna, but i think the tank is too tall I had a real bueaty it died when i went on vacation, when a friend was "looking" after it. I think we have all been there! any ways your ideas will be much appreciated!
Best regards,
FF
